occasionally people try to do kiwifarms to me, and it doesn’t work out bc I’ve lived a boring life of hermitude with my multiple cats. there’s just not much you can milk out of these dry dusty udders…. I’ll try, though. you deserve a little mouthful. just give me time, I’ll take some calcium pills and really squeeze

#the bioessentialism is gross and inescapable#‘oh i’m just not comfortable around this person bc i don’t know them!’#is that it? or is it that they’re masculine presenting and you only think of non-binary people as girl lite

👥 Readers added context they thought people might want to know

If Utena Tenjou ate a lithium-ion battery, she would turn into an electric car, not an airplane.

Did you find this helpful?

Yes

Yes

It’s a big mistake to think you’re the only one who can turn into a electric car

The linked article

[massivetittiesandwarcrimes]

This article is genuinely insane. I learned to read at the same time and it was completely different. I was taught to sound out the words and if I came across a word I didn't know, they did suggest we use context clues to figure out the meaning, but it was also made clear that that was not a perfect solution and the best option is always to look it up. But seriously, just a memorizing? That is inside.

I taught English as a second language for over ten years. In order to become a proficient reader in English, most kids will need to be explicitly taught phonics. To become proficient in Japanese, you need to learn radicals.

Three-cueing is essentially crutches that help you get by but let you down eventually. It's very common when learning a foreign language, I misread kanji sometimes because I pattern-recognize based on context instead of really looking. The solution is to do some proper studying, but I don't wanna.

It's also interesting that this sort of contexual confabulation and pattern-recognizing is how LLMs work. Not sure what to do with that.

Absolutely fantastic article, but I do want to say that this...?

... Is absolutely terrifying in the context of all other anti-intellectualism happening right now. This guy is STILL pushing his 'observations' while denying evidence that it doesn't work.

[quasi-normalcy]

#the part where he says it doesn’t matter if a child reads horse instead of pony bc the meaning is the same is.. particularly dire 💀#it’s immediately obvious that this doesn’t work as soon as books don’t have pictures in them ???

Good thing that there aren't any texts where subtle differences in meaning are important or anything like that.

cons of writing

i just forgot the word "passenger" and had to search for "cargo synonym referring to a person"
